Applications of fluid flow play an important role in nature, various man-made equipments, processes of aerospace, automotive, civil, defense, electrical engineering, power and process industries. Information about the structure of the flow in a process or an apparatus can be obtained from measurements in experimental test facilities or from flow visualization studies. However, there are some limitations and a full picture of flow fields is often hard to obtain in this fashion. Fluid Dynamics (FD) is a technique to model fluid flow using a computer simulation.  Due to  the growth  of  powerful  computers  and  the development of general-purpose software packages, FD techniques can be applied to solve industrial flow problems especially in complex flow situations of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. The FD codes include, among others, effects of heat and mass transfer and a range of physical and chemical models.

The 8th IBCAST will provide an opportunity to the local and foreign researchers to exchange their ideas, discuss their queries and problems in this specific field with the experts and to explore the new areas.
